    Cruise Day 10 - Puntarenas, Costa Rica

    November 10, 2025 in Costa Rica ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F

    We arrived before 6am and berthed next to a Princess ship.

    We booked another full-day excursion. First a 1.5 hr bus ride, then the highlight of the day - sloths at a local rescue center and sanctuary. We saw many different animals there before heading to a rainforest aerial tram and butterfly garden. We had another long day, returning to our ship after sunset.Read more
